went to samsung customer service and asked if they can update my galaxy note to ICS. the lady at the information desk told me that there is no official update released here in the philippines yet. so disappointing...

[deleted post]You have good copy-paste skills, about the lengthy explanation of how rechargeable batteries work. We thank you for your repeated copy-paste information from your undisclosed source.

Fortunately, I charge my 3 batteries when they get to less than 5% with a separate charger, but unlike you, I use my Note quite heavily,and get a realistic battery statistics of 7 to 8 hours. My spare fresh batteries will keep me powered the rest of the day. I even have a portable 6000mAh Mipow portable battery to charge my spent battery in my bag. I believe I have explained the same battery theories in my own words about 5 months back.

Not doing much with your Note can give you that 4 days battery stamina. We can read that over your battery stats. We know how to read percentages. You can stop posing like you wrote the entire scientific explanation of how rechargeable batteries work. Plagiarism is frowned upon in most cultures.

kumarc, 08 Jun 2012hi androsgs2.
I have gone thru this opinion blog extensively. Quite a few people, after upgra... moreyap. My battery drains very quickly after i upgraded to ICS. That's why i had my note resetted to GB. And i'm happy although i miss the fluidity of ICS.
U wrote to samsung? could u share me their email?
i did wrote to samsung indonesia and they replied. But it was disappointing. They olny told me to reduce brightness, turn off 3g, etc

[deleted post]I don't understand why you're repeatedly posting this detailed article about the dangers of over/undercharging Li ion batteries? All your article tells me is that there are safeguards built-in the battery, thanks to which my battery won't short, or be damaged permanently. Your thing about overcharging the battery is only says that it is a fire hazard at 200 C, whereas our phone battery temp rarely exceeds 40 C.

Over/under charging the LI Ion battery does not affect the battery. These are Li Ion batteries, not Ni-Cd batteries. These batteries are not prone to the memory effect (in Ni-Cd batteries, the battery retains a 'memory' about how much it is charged, and at what level it is charged. If we were to charge a Ni-Cd battery at say 20% battery and stop at 80% for a number of cycles, it would not work below 20% or above 80%).

Also, your video shows that you barely switched on your phone. Your cell standby usage is more than the display usage. Achieving a 3-4 day standby time is very easy even on gingerbread. Please clarify your point. (Also, if you reply to this post, please DO NOT post your video link and article again).

Galaxy Note ICS upgrade comments from a UK user on Vodafone...
PROS: Nicer looking. Better thought out interface, such as [SAVE] at the top when creating a calendar item. Better web browsing. S Note is nice and the drawing much much faster with the stylus than the previous S Memo app. Gmail/email much better implemented. CONS: Very sluggish video playback (video I have shot using the phone), stutters and sometimes actually freezes. Browing photos and videos jittery too. Desktop icons don't always respond - have to tap a few times. Music player skips tracks on it's own. Bluetooth connection with my otherwise excellent Jabra headset is unreliable (until connected). Used to be fine. In general, whilst aesthetically pleasing, this ICS upgrade is loaded with bugs and sluggish in all the wrong places. Samsung or Google or both need to really have a go at fixing this, because the Note is a superb piece of kit and now almost ruined.

irfaniffi, 08 Jun 2012Galaxy Note Battery Improvement after ICS updation. Must watch this short video:
http://www... moreStop this. Stop telling everyone that you got 4 days on a full charge out of your Note because all you did was look at photos at only 2 hours total. Do something with your Note first, then give us your battery stats.

To all Note owners: Nothing to see here on his YouTube posting except stats showing his standby for the 4 days.

Hi guys I am from India recently I purchased. Galaxy note and I upgrade to ICS but samsung says that ICS upgrade will have new features like angry birds and spelling corrcetion etc but there is no such kind of apps or features.

omi........., 07 Jun 2012i just bought GN 2 weeks ago...great battery time and awsome fone...the big hd lcd is the plus... moreics update has been available here in india..shd be available in pak soon..

I have just finished upadating my galaxy note for ics few hours ago. My note has become smoother, but the difference from gb doesn't spot the obvious. I am not sure with the battery life yet, I will post more about it after some few days usage... see how it really is for the win.

I got my update officially though. When I went to settings then check update on my phone, it showed about an update for ics. And it took about 45-50 minutes from update to reboot.

One thing I have noticed is the font. Normally when you change font, everything shows whether on the web or anything for that matter shows the exact font you have chosen/prompted. But now with ics it only shows your font selection while you type. I wanted the gb even better showing exact same fonts not only from typing. But not a big of a deal though.

One other thing. I can't replace my icons down from my homepage with the phone, message etc thingie. I thought I could easily move and change them after update, I guess not.
